Adverse weather is preventing salvors from getting to an Ultrabulk-controlled multipurpose general cargo ship that was driven ashore on the west coast of South Africa earlier this week.
Two anchor-handling tug supply vessels are standing by near the 13,800-dwt Ultra Galaxy (built 2008), awaiting a suitable break in the weather to resume operations, Transworld Fleet Management (TFM), the vessel’s technical manager, told TradeWinds on Friday.
